The History So Far...... 

It all started in 1968 when John Craddock purchased a 1948 Series One Land Rover for £50 and like so many 

other enthusiasts he was smitten by the charisma of the vehicle: its simplicity, reliability and ability to cover 

any terrain in four wheel drive. In the late 60’s and 70’s Land Rover rallying became a popular pastime for 

John, who spent many weekends away with the Land Rover clubs. 

Back in the day parts for the older Land Rovers were 

becoming scarce and the only way to get hold of them, dare 

we say it, was to dismantle the older ones for spares. 

Fellow enthusiasts were soon purchasing parts from John, 

until it became impossible for him to continue supplying 

parts in his spare time. 

John Craddock Limited became an entity in 1970. However 

when your passion becomes your business you source 

new old stock items to ensure the vehicle you love is able 

to spend many more years surviving and this was true for 

John Craddock and John Craddock Ltd who now supply 

parts to virtually every country in the world through our 

extensive Mail Order business. We supply parts and 

accessories for all Land Rover Models from 1948 to 

Present date. 

Behind the company is a committed team of experts in 

Land Rover parts and 4 x 4 wheels and tyres, whose sole 

aim is to give you a first class service. 

At the premises in Cannock we have an extensively stocked 

shop where many of the parts, wheels and tyres are on 

show. Behind the shop is a dedicated tyre bay, where we 

can supply and fit our vast selection of wheels and tyres for 

a wide range of off road vehicles. 

We sell second hand Land Rover vehicles which are sold 

through the workshop and vehicle sales section which 

surround the main building. 

Our Service Centre can service your vehicle and our fitting 

bay can fit accessories to any model of Land Rover. To aid 

diagnosis and provide power upgrades our experienced 

mechanics use “Autologic for Land Rover” which enables 

us to give a comprehensive and efficient service all at 

reasonable rates. 

We look forward to hearing from you.

Series 1 

The Land Rover was conceived by the Rover Company in 1947 during the aftermath of World War II. Rover’s chief 

designer, Maurice Wilks came up with a plan to produce a light agricultural and utility vehicle, of a similar concept 

to the Willys Jeep used in the war, but with an emphasis on agricultural use. The first prototype had a distinctive 

feature, the steering wheel was mounted in the middle of the vehicle. It became known as the “centre steer”. The 

bodywork was handmade out of an aluminium/magnesium alloy called Birmabright, to save on steel, which was 

closely rationed. Paint was also in short supply, resulting in the first production vehicles making use of army surplus 

green paint. Tests showed this prototype vehicle to be a capable and versatile machine. The steering wheel was 

then mounted off to the side as normal, the bodywork was simplified to reduce production time and costs and a 

larger engine was fitted. The Land Rover was designed to only be in production for 2-3 years to gain some cash 

flow and export orders for the Rover Company so it could restart up-market car production. Once car production 

restarted, however, it was greatly outsold by the off-road Land Rover, which developed into its own brand that 

remains successful today.

Series Vehicles 

The successor to the successful Series I was the Series II, which saw a production run from 1958 to 1961. 

It came in 88”and 109” wheelbases (normally referred to as the SWB and LWB). This was the first Land 

Rover to receive the attention of Rover's styling department. The 109” Series II Station Wagon introduced a 

12-seater option on top of the standard 10-seater layout. This was primarily to take advantage of UK tax laws. 

The SII and the SIIA are very difficult to distinguish. There were some minor cosmetic changes, but the most 

significant change was under the bonnet in the guise of the new 2.25-litre diesel engine. The Series IIA is 

considered by many the most hardy Series model constructed. It is also the type of classic Land Rover that 

features strongly in the general public’s perception of the Land Rover,from its many appearances in popular 

films and television documentaries set in Africa throughout the 1960s, such as Born Free.

Series 2 & 3 

& Airportable 

The Series III had the same body and engine options as the preceding IIA, including station wagons and the 

1 ton versions. Little changed cosmetically from the IIA to the Series III. The Series III is the most common 

Series vehicle, with 440,000 of the type built from 1971 to 1985. Also, new trim options were introduced to 

make the interior more comfortable if the buyer so wished. By the late 1970s, the British Army had acquired 

around 9,000 Series III models, which were mainly a special ‘Heavy Duty’ version of the 109” Soft Top. These 

models had improved suspension components and a different chassis cross-member design. These were 

produced in 12-volt ‘GS’ models and 24-volt ‘FFR’ versions. A small number were 88” GS and FFR models, 

but in general the Army used the Air-Portable 1/2 ton, 88” Lightweight version. The Lightweight was in service 

by many armies all over the world.

Series 2 & 3 

& 90/110 

The model was introduced in 1983 as the Ninety and the One Ten, with the numbers representing the wheelbase 

in inches. The number was spelled in full in advertising and in handbooks and manuals, and the vehicles 

also carried badges above the radiator grille which read “Land Rover 90” or “Land Rover 110”, with the number 

rendered numerically. The Ninety and One Ten replaced the earlier Land Rover Series, and at the time of 

launch, the only other Land Rover model in production was the Range Rover. From 1991 the Ninety and the 

One Ten were renamed the Defender 90 and Defender 110. While the engine and other body panels carried 

over from the Series III, mechanically the 90 and 110 were modernized, including: Coil springs, offering a 

more comfortable ride and improved axle articulation, a permanent four-wheel-drive system derived from the 

Range Rover, featuring a two-speed transfer gearbox with a lockable centre differential, a modernised interior, 

a taller one-piece windscreen and a new series of progressively more powerful and more modern engines.

Classic 


The Range Rover Classic was a 4x4 luxury vehicle built by Land Rover from 1970-1996. It was the first generation 

of vehicles produced under the Range Rover name. The final design, launched in 1970 was marketed 

as “A Car For All Reasons”. In its original guise, the Range Rover was more capable off-road than the Land 

Rover but was much more comfortable, offering a top speed in excess of 100 mph, a towing capacity of 3.5 

tons, spacious seating area for five people and groundbreaking features such as a four-speed, dual-range, 

permanent four-wheel-drive gearbox and hydraulic disc brakes on all wheels. The Range Rover broke from 

the Land Rovers of its time by using coil springs instead of the then-common leaf springs. Because of its 

hefty weight, it also had disc brakes on all four wheels. Originally, it had no power steering, though this was 

added a few years after its introduction.
